Powerage5 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I don't think they would change venues, Phoenix is probably cheaper to rent then Kool Haus. I figured they would play the sound academyKool Haus is where they played last time...and the VR club shows are always there.I just thought maybe they decided to look for a larger venue than 1100 people,which caused the ticket delay.Sound Academy would have been a good choice as well...good call on that.What does the Sound Academy hold? About 2,000? I've only been there once, don't remember it too well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I think it's more like 3000 or 3500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I hope it stays the Phoenix. I've heard really good things about it and the bar, and it'll be awesome to see Slash with such an intimate crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard really good things about it and the bar, and it'll be awesome to see Slash with such an intimate crowd.Yeah I like the Phoenix.Last time I was there was for the New York Dolls.The scary thing is ticket demand set at 1100 people!Upside is it will most likely be easier for people to get some documentation done....the security is a lot looser,it was anytime I've been there anyway.

Naupis Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The really small venue is cool and all, but isn't there somewhere that maybe holds like 2,000-2,5000 people he could play so a few more people could go? I think he could probably move 2,000 tickets in the bigger cities. That still keeps the atmosphere nice, but at least allows for more fans to see the show.

James Bond Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) stub hub already has 109 tickets for sale so already 10% has gone to scalpersI'm not surprised. Since the tickets were already "pick-up only" they should have gone the extra step and just made the whole thing will call. Get rid of the stupid scalpers completely.It's too bad you didn't get tickets. Hopefully he'll add another Toronto. Maybe the small venue is because it's the first show so he's treating it like a "warm-up" kind of show.Edit: Slash just posted on Facebook:Looking into how the Phoenix Theater tix could have sold out that fast. #notpossible iiiiI; )' Edited January 17, 2012 by Paul Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they wouldn't of booked a bigger venue, I'm sure Slash could of sold 4-5k tickets and played the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto In certain markets Slash as a solo artist is just as popular as GNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It turns out this Slash gig is taking place during a pretty big industry conference in Toronto.linkI'd be surprised if it's coincidence that this Slash gig is happening in Toronto that week.It would explain the more intimate setting,as this tends to happen at these events.Expect some Slash broadcast and radio interviews.
